Possible Causes

Out-of-range reading from bottom NTC sensor, Firmware calibration data corruption, Poor thermal contact between sensor and heating plate

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the cooker and let it cool completely.

  • Clean sensor area: Remove the inner pot and clean the heating plate and central sensor area thoroughly. Ensure no residue is insulating the sensor.
  • Check pot condition: Verify that the inner pot bottom is flat and not warped. Replace if deformed.
  • Power reset: After cleaning, unplug the unit for 10–15 minutes, then plug back in to see if the code clears.
  • Internal inspection (advanced): Remove the bottom cover and ensure the sensor is firmly attached to the plate and its wiring is intact.
  • Service calibration: If the error persists, the unit may require a factory-level calibration or control board replacement.

Warning: Do not attempt to modify firmware or calibration data without manufacturer guidance.
